H/T Peyton ReinhartAfter having been arrested and detained in a mental hospital last year in Virginia, Marine Brandon Raub is suing the federal officials involved. World Net Daily is reporting today the lawsuit today, filed on Raub's behalf by the Rutherford Institute. The lawsuit claims Raub was arrested and detained as part of an Obama administration plan called “Operation Vigilant Eagle.” This program, the story cites the Rutherford Institute as explaining, “was a federal program to do surveillance on military veterans who express views critical of the government.”
The WND story reports, “According to officials at Rutherford, the civil rights action names as defendants members of law enforcement and the government who were involved in last year’s episode where Marine veteran Brandon Raub, 27, was arrested by a swarm of FBI and Secret Service and forcibly detained in a psychiatric ward for a week.”
Joe Newby of Examiner.com reported on the arrest and detaining of Brandon Raub by federal officials last August. The Facebook page comments written by Raub during last year were still online at the time and consisted mostly of commentaries criticizing the federal government, some song lyrics, and other posts about “revolution” that were part of a fantasy role-playing game Raub and others apparently participated in by posting messages in the game on Facebook. Nothing in any of the post indicated that Raub posed any threat to national security or intended to engage in any violent acts in real life.Read the rest of the story HERE and view a related video below:

Psalm 144 (A psalm of David.)
1 Praise the Lord, who is my rock.He trains my hands for war and gives my fingers skill for battle. 2 He is my loving ally and my fortress, my tower of safety, my rescuer. He is my shield, and I take refuge in him.
He makes the nations submit to me. 3 O Lord, what are human beings that you should notice them, mere mortals that you should think about them? 4 For they are like a breath of air; their days are like a passing shadow.
5 Open the heavens, Lord, and come down. Touch the mountains so they billow smoke. 6 Hurl your lightning bolts and scatter your enemies! Shoot your arrows and confuse them!
7 Reach down from heaven and rescue me; rescue me from deep waters, from the power of my enemies.
8 Their mouths are full of lies; they swear to tell the truth, but they lie instead. 9 I will sing a new song to you, O God! I will sing your praises with a ten-stringed harp. 10 For you grant victory to kings!
You rescued your servant David from the fatal sword.
11 Save me! Rescue me from the power of my enemies.
Their mouths are full of lies; they swear to tell the truth, but they lie instead.
12 May our sons flourish in their youth like well-nurtured plants.
May our daughters be like graceful pillars, carved to beautify a palace. 13 May our barns be filled with crops of every kind. May the flocks in our fields multiply by the thousands, even tens of thousands,
14 and may our oxen be loaded down with produce.
May there be no enemy breaking through our walls, no going into captivity, no cries of alarm in our town squares.
15 Yes, joyful are those who live like this! Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord.
Bosman, looks like we are just scratching the surface on this widespread intimidation. You sure you want to keep this blog?!
While the Fort Hood Shooter's ideology was known and ignored. Just a little work place violence! What a slap in the face to the families.
Here's an interesting analysis from the bottom of the page in the article:
